Paris St Germain (PSG) has suspended its women’s team coach Didier Olle-Nicolle.
The Frenchman has been provisionally suspended following allegations of inappropriate behavior against him, the club has announced in a statement.
“Paris Saint-Germain was informed today of inappropriate actions and comments to which members of its women’s team were allegedly exposed,” a club statement read.
“These facts and remarks, if confirmed, would be incompatible with the sporting and human values of Paris Saint-Germain.
“Paris Saint-Germain takes the situation very seriously and intends to shed full light on the facts and comments reported. In this context and in order to preserve the interests of all parties involved, the coach of the women’s team has been placed on leave today, by mutual agreement with Paris Saint-Germain.”
Olle-Nicolle, 61, has been PSG women’s team coach since July 2021.
They currently sit second in the French top-flight division with 53 points, five behind the league leader Lyon.
Thye can close the gap on the leaders when they play each other Friday in their penultimate game.
PSG won the French Cup just last week and managed to reach the semi-finals of this year’s Champions League before losing to eventual champions Lyon.
Olle-Nicolle also coached the men’s teams in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 prior to becoming PSG’s women’s team coach.
